Gardening is an activity we can be closed to the nature. We live with the nature. We need to take care it. With mindful gardening we can create area and atmosphere to be green, clean and tidy. Then it will be a nice environment for everyone.

This area was designed as a garden under shade of big tree. A man-made waterfall with pond and beautiful fish make this area a really exceptional one. Someone mentioned about J.R.R. Tolkien and his fantasy land with this place.

To meditate with the fire is also another wonderful moment. Brightness and warmness of fire create very good atmosphere. Also it’s a special moment to be back to the nature.

Many people love this place for its calmness because it’s the hall which is furthest from any noise outside. Sound of nature at this place is really wonderful. You can listen birds, cricket, gentle wind, etc.
